I was able to travel to Calgary for the certification motion hearings in Carrie Sakamoto’s proposed class-action lawsuit against the government of Canada and Alberta. 

It was a long four days in court, often hard to sit through and difficult to listen to counsel for both governments defending mandates and deflecting blame for the policies implemented during the ‘pandemic’, with counsel for the Canadian government also stating that the pandemic was over and it was time to move on!

Like so many, however, Carrie and her family cannot simply move on. Their lives have been irreparably changed. The family were forced to sell their farm and have had to learn how to live with Carrie’s injuries and navigate family life in efforts to return to some semblance of normalcy.

I give Carrie credit. It was difficult at times to swallow the dismissiveness of the government counsel, but she did it with poise and grace.

Of course, the government subsidized media were nowhere to be seen, despite headquarters for one of them located right across the street from the courthouse. 

While this case is not overly dramatic or sensational, it is an important step for all Canadians who have suffered adverse events as a result of getting vaccinated.
